Ameraucana aficionados wanted. True Ameraucanas or not?

We have a great flock of 24. And we are learning so much. Our youngest are a group of 7, 10 wk old Ameracaunas we purchased as chicks. As I have learned more about chickens I realize they are frequently mislabled and are actually EE's. If I understand correctly it not only has to do with genetics but color and other features as well. Ie. unrecognized colors, meeting the standard, not producing at least 50% of the time true to standard etc. My question do you guys think this guy(at least i think he is a he) is an Ameracuana? If so is he a Blue Wheaten?





I tried to show what I think are saddle feathers. He has little to no muff and I can't match him with a recognized color.

100% ameracana!

I was hoping someone would say that but not expecting it. Do you think he is a indeed a he,Roo? The breed standard says he should have muffs on his face. Will those come in later? All but 2 of the 7 have muffs coming in.

 

[Mountain Peeps]

His head looks exactly like my ameracana hen but the feathering looks like a boy. So, I'm not sure:/

Without muffs and a beard, I think he'd just be considered an EE. I don't think they'll be popping out later on either, but I could be wrong. This is a blue wheaten ameraucana roo (not my picture):

 

[tallyhoally]

That's what I was thinking. Does he look like a he to you?

Not doubt about it, that bird is a rooster. He's not an Ameraucana, he's a very pretty Easter egger.

Thank you guys. I'm learning so much. Your replies are much appreciated.
